Know Your Rights – Call Dunwoody DUI Lawyer Ray Giudice
Ray with DeKalb County Solicitor Sherry Boston
You never envisioned having to do a frantic search for a Dunwoody DUI lawyer. Out to dinner with some business associates, at McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood or Joey D’s Oak Room, you might have a couple of cocktails or share a bottle of wine. Or maybe you were just at Brookhaven Grille watching the game, or at Tin Lizzy’s or Taco Mac, waiting out rush hour traffic while enjoying happy hour. People often get charged with a DUI even if they’re not driving erratically, because there are DUI checkpoints at busy traffic areas, like on North Shallowford or Dunwoody Club Drive.
Dunwoody DUI Guidelines
If you are cited with a traffic violation (including a DUI) in the city of Dunwoody, your case will probably be heard at the Dunwoody Municipal Court, which is located at 41 Perimeter Center East, Suite 103, Dunwoody, GA 30346, phone: 678.382.6973. If you were pulled over outside city limits, it will take place in the DeKalb County State Court, located at the DeKalb County Courthouse, 556 N. McDonough Street, Decatur Ga, 30030, phone: 404.371.2261. If you have a jury trial, it can take place in the DeKalb County State Court or DeKalb County Superior Court, also locate in the DeKalb County Courthouse, phone: 404.371.4901.
You have the right to a jury trial for your DUI charges, but plea bargains may be available in both Dunwoody Municipal court or in DeKalb County state court. Dunwoody DUI attorneys understand the law, and they may be able to help you avoid a severe sentence, especially if you were pulled over at a checkpoint. That’s because there are strict laws governing these roadblocks, and if the officer who pulled you over doesn’t follow the letter of the law, your case may even be dismissed. Does this all seem complicated, and maybe a little above your head? This is one reason you need a knowledgeable, competent Dunwoody DUI attorney on your side.
In fact, many things about a Georgia DUI are complicated. For example, did you know that if you don’t file a request for an administrative hearing within 10 days of your citation, you are subject to automatic license suspension? A good Dunwoody DUI lawyer knows how to help you protect your rights, your freedom, and your license.
